Mob Boss, Murdered Students Test Heroine of Cast a Dark Shadow, Published by Outskirts Press
Grand Rapids, MI, January 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Cast a Dark Shadow by S. C. Rackes. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the romantic fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Cast A Dark Shadow is also available in its 6 x 9 hardback edition with jacket. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/castadarkshadow was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Dallas Welles wants everyone to believe she has a good life. She’s been married for twenty years and has a beautiful daughter, Dooley. She has a job she loves as drama teacher for the Community College and she lives in sunny Florida.
The ugly truth is that it’s her twentieth wedding anniversary, her husband wants nothing to do with her sexually, and he has become increasingly angrier and more abusive. The time has come for her to leave.
Unfortunately, Dallas finds that leaving is not as simple as just walking out the door. Before she knows it, her husband is stalking her every move and telling her that leaving is not part of the “plan.”
After he finds herself befriended by retired mob boss Vic DeAngelo, her students are systematically being murdered. Suddenly Dallas finds herself face to face with Detective Jesse Kelly, the man she has been searching for her whole life. Without proof, however, police protection is not possible for her and she finds herself in a luxurious condo under the protection of Vic DeAngelo and his goon squad.
How did she find herself in the middle of this mess? Will Detective Kelly be able to solve the murders, keep the “plan” from being fulfilled and still find love and family with Dallas and her daughter, Dooley?
Cast a Dark Shadow is a story full of twist and turns, of murder and romance, of finding out who one’s friends really are and of the true meaning of the word “family.”
396 pages in length, Cast a Dark Shadow is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the romantic fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Cast a Dark Shadow meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95 and $26.95 for the paperback and hardback editions, respectively.
Additionally, Cast a Dark Shadow can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
